Hello all,

My wife seems to be using the dimmer switch more in the winter just
when I'm listening to SW. The noise blanker doesn't seem to help. Are
there dimmer switches made that don't produce the "pleasant" buzz of
the standard one? Presumably it would be more expensive, but might be
worth it.


Replace the dimmer with an on/off switch. It's cheap and 100%
effective. Then find a bulb with the right brightness.

I have not looked for them but they used to have bulbs with three
wattage setting and a extra contact in the base requiring the right
type of lamp. Three choices should be all she needs.

have one of them if they (I think they have the ''Clap'' anyway) me one
for free.Or a Salad Shooter either.

I am getting a horrible buz across the bands that is coming from my
neighbors apartment. Would one of those ANC-4 or the MFJ unit get rid
of it.

Periodic noise, that's noise spaced every few kilohertz is probably a
TV, maybe a plasma TV.

It's a constant buzz from the bottom of the BCB to 40 meters. I
get the same buzz when the dimmer on my halogen lamp is being used. Its
so strong that my loop antenna wont null it out.
